One day, the narrator’s Mother goes out with Father and ends up going missing when she lets go of her husband’s hand. Despite Father's efforts, the family is unable to find Mother right away, and files a missing person report. The narrator and her siblings each take turns looking for their mother, and in doing so, they come to think about her, whom they have neglected. Thinking of the wounds and sorrow that they’d inflected on her by taking her for granted, the family members look back on their lives.
